It was all that and more as Eddie Murphy returned to the ‘Saturday Night Live’ stage last night. During his monologue, he was surprised be several of his friends and fellow comedians who welcomed him back for the first time in 35 years.
He was joined on stage by Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and Kenan Thompson.
Murphy also brought back the decades old characters we came to love from his run on the show. And, all of his ten chilren flew to New York to watch the show. Eddie was only 19-years old when his iconic humor became part of SNL history.
